I actually like this Infiniti; it seems to offer more for the money compared to the GLA. Plus it looks nicer than the GLA.
Had this as a loaner from the dealer. The 2.0t is crazy fun and whips around more than I thought it would.
This is my second car, after my first 07 mustang. I was looking something for at least a little 'bite' - this car definitely gives it, especially in sport mode!
This is One of the only crossovers i would buy considering how much i hate crossovers...this car looks pretty badass
Hey guys, love the videos! Keep up the good job! Really enjoyed the Jeep series on each state's highest point. Thanks for the great content.
I passed one of these cars on the interstate. It stood out and was a nice looking vehicle. I like small cars generally. I drive a Buick Encore and the mini countryman was the other car a shopped when i bought my Buick in 2014.
The last Infiniti video had me in stitches. You kept pinging the guy regarding the Mercedes Benz connection XD
😂
What a GORGEOUS car! Well done Murica!
I am looking forward to this car after the lock down. My Wife needs a new car. Good review.
At least it has a regular hifter. Wish it had a more Infiniti-esqe exhaust note... I just love the exhaust sound of the VQ engines.
Regular shifter*
For the next video you should do the 2017 Ford Fusion sport vs a somewhat fair midsize luxury car.
So tired of people complaining about the shared material in this car and the GLA.
Have you ever sat in a VW and then an Audi?
The map lights and sunroof controls are exactly the same.
A VW Golf and Audi A3 share the platform, engine and transmission.
The buttons on the door for locking/unlocking are exactly the same.
The seat controls are exactly the same.
There are many other examples of cars that are perfectly good and share many components. But as soon as Infiniti does it everybody has to pick on it.
vw is just a boneless audi, which is just a boneless porsche... Infiniti has 0 to do with Mercedes. 2 different brands from 2 different continents
Forget about interior component sharing. I'm more concerned about the engine/powertrain sharing... Nissan has it's issues with quality fo sure, but one thing I can say from the previous Nissan/Infiniti's I've owned, none have ever had any serious mechanical issues even well after 100K miles. I don't think the same can be said for German-made powertrains and such.
i can't find your review of toyta CHR. Hopefully you will put soon. ☺☺☺
It sounds quite loud in the footage where you're going down the road. Was there a lot of wind or road noise?
Can't wait to test drive this car
now, do I go for the base or spring for awd lol
I will work my ass off for this
Serious question, would you guys consider this a wagon/hatchback rather than a subcompact crossover??
the struggle with that backset glad I'm on the short side but it's a good looking.
the door chime is the same as the benz too
Nice-looking ride! Good looking shape But definitely a tad on the small side
Wow, I live in Seattle and I had no idea we had a big Infinity HQ up here, haha. Or did they just want pretty scenery. Yeah it looks like a GLA Wagon, much better then the compact car :(
Time for the red sport review
Love your brutal true review. 😂
This model is not made for anyone not more than 5'5" tall ... I'll opt for QX60 [6'2" tall]
What you said about the new design being 'TOO SQUISHED' is exactly what I'm feeling with cars more and more. The Toyota Corolla has the same problem when you raise up the seat high enough to see the road: The rear view mirror gets in the way of your forward vision. That's why I actually prefer older used cars instead; you can see out of them. The Subaru Forester is great, it has a high seating position, a tall roof, and tons of glass, so I'd get that. I saw a lady who just bought a new Honda Civic coupe, filling it up with gas at a local gas station, and guess what she did? After filling her gas tank at the fuel station, she turned to the right and drove right up and over a concrete ISLAND, high-centering her car on it and hopelessly getting stuck, with her front wheels spinning. I drive a 2008 Corolla and with that older design's higher seating position and lower cowl I can easily see that island and not hit it, but she could not. NOW THAT IS WHY today's cars suck.
beautiful vehicle, looks fun to drive :)
Its ridiculously short inside... i agree with this guy, minus the whole purple thing.
I test drove it and bumped my head. Im only 5'8 and it seemed so small inside
I want to see how that car does in the snow. I just bought one and it's awd but I haven't had a chance to drive it in the snow. I would like to see tfl drive it in the snow
this guy Same. Chicago has not had a snow for 8 weeks now. I have had mike for that long.
So I'm 6'5" and I drive a CX-5 right now. I love it but I want something a little more luxury. I was looking into leasing this but should I look into something bigger?
yes , this car is very small, im 6'2 and visibility is terrible
I'm in love with the lowered sport model but is the engine actually German? It'll fail reliably-wise too soon if that's the case 😒
hey that looks like seabeck thats awesome
How big is this guy?
I'm 5'11" but an athletic 170lbs., and I fit in the back seat behind "me" just fine.
wow even the chime sound sounds like a mercedes
What a shocker lol
Bad music, bad audio, bad camera work, bad commentary and apparently Roman is color blind.
Its a really busy looking GTI.
in Australia they priced it out of existence I was going to buy one until i saw the cost 50+
Bold colour!!!!!!!!!!
it looks like he Mazda 3. I'm wondering if upgrading to this will be a "real" change
I only wish it was a Nissan engine, easier on repairs!
It was purple probably because you have shades on, and please please mention your height because it would help judge the size of the car. Thanks for your efforts anyway.
he is 6'2
Thanks, but since he reviews car all the time, it would be helpful and for his benefit to mention this every time. New viewers wouldn't know. Thanks again for your reply.
Looks better than the gla
How tall are you?
Is it going to be unreliable like the Mercedes? I really like it, but I can't have a piece of crap in my garage.
Sancho S exactly if it’s built German then it’s a No for me.
It looks better than the GLA.
I like it a SUV coupe no one in the back yessss
why can't the volume be consistent
nice car
damn its a nice looking car, but its interior seems a bit weak, but not as week as the engine output. But yeah, looks aggressive and sleek!
Looks somewhat like the mazda3 hatchback.
infiniti or lexus ???
Where is the new evo ? 2.0 t
Thin tire rubber. I am not sure I understand why sports oriented cars have little rubber. I get that it's a bigger rim and bigger brake, but it sacrifices rubber which offers more traction and a comfortable ride. I just saw the opening where this car was spinning all 4 tires barely moving. I am wonder what the point is?
"Infiti mainly designed the QX30..... mainly with a photocopier and a picture of a mazda 3"
A bit more accurate.
Yeah, especially the front is very similar and the way the back comes down...but it's different enough and nowadays it's hard to create a unique design.
+Edgar Renje mazda copies infiniti! I hate when people say that. this was an infiniti design language 1st!
Ikr! Here's a hilarious forum post that will inform them, www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sedan/240210-2014-sedan-64.html#post3574248
Infiniti has had this design language longer than Mazda.
Infiniti just took the Mazda3 and made it look ugly.
The least thing they could have did was change the door handles so it wouldn't look too similar to it's Mercedes counterpart!
Good looking car. Looks better than the GLA. If I were to choose between them I would buy that. But even the gauge cluster is from the GLA. I hate how much the two cars share. Infinity should have only taken the chassis and designed their own interior.
Totally agree with you bro!
I like the look they just need to change the body to a sedan
How tall is Roman?
8 ft short
if you are over 5foot 6 you should not look into this car. I got into it a the auto show and the visibility outwards was so bad it's unbelievable I'm not even that tall (5 foot 9)and I still had to put the seat all the way down and lean the seat back but when I did this the rear seat became very small so that is one thing that turns me off from this car. but It looks good.
I'm sorry Roman but I've noticed this in all the videos. you sit in the car like an old grandma . your seat doesn't need to be that high up and that much forward. you're a tall guy , drive like one . for god sakes man the steering wheel is under your armpit lol
Watch asian car lovers swoon over this thing even though its German.
FYI: It's not purple... It's blue
drive train and chassis = things you don't see
the design of vehicle is all infiniti. chassis and drive train and overall silhouette of a small c/suv are the only things in common with the gla
that car definitely is not purple
Sitting in the GLA/QX30 feels like sitting in a cave. It's bizarre how bad the visibility is lol.
wait
mercedes collaborating with infiniti?
that's kind of strange, honestly, i wouldn't think merceds would want that kind of association
Looks like two lambs can fit in the hatch, barely.
You must be color blind if u can't tell difference between blue and purple! This car is def not purple!
bonbon27 in person it's very purple.
It's no where close to purple...I was in an Infiniti dealership, it's blue.
You guys really couldn't see the purple tones? Yikes. You might want to do one of those tests to see how many different colors you can identify.
Look lower right when he walks to open the door about 1/3 of the way through the video. It's more of a blue than a purple, but it 100% has purple tones. This is like having an argument over whether teal is blue or green. This car has both blue and purple in the paint. Obviously.
This is the color on my car. When someone asks what color, I say blurple
I hate the racked design of new cars. I was looking for a new car a couple of months back and VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, BMW and Mercedes all quickly fell out of the running. The Peugoet as well. With all of them, I cracked my head trying to get into the car. If I have to bend myself double to get through the door hole, that isn't a car I want to drive on a daily basis.
nissan/ Mercedes been working together for a good while now so this is old news
Does that have to do anything why the maxima and murano look slightly German?
If the GLA were actually good looking and luxurious, it would be called the Infiniti QX30
That's a nice Mazda 3! ...wait
Not purple at all....something wrong with your eyes.
Color blind...
Yeah because he's old
Looks like Mazda 2
Teletubby Tinky Winky: Puple and has a screen.
And the new toyota supra is a bmw z4.
Don't you just love all the Japanese "ish" colors, Blue-sh, red-sh, brown-sh, etc? But It's clear this car's lineage is Mercedes-Benz. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I own a GLA 250.
Well I'm 5' 10" so it should be just fine to me.
Bout to get me a low mileage 2017 QX30 with leather and fold down back seats which you dont get with the base model, for $22,300.
How do you like it ? Is it reliable?
@@alexanderlinares8375 Hey. I actually stayed in my 2015 Miata Club Edition much longer and am gonna probably stay in it another 6 months. But Thats still the car Ill be looking at. Also, the 2020 Mazda 3 hatchback has really caught ny eye.
Whaddaya mean Europeans have a bolder color palette? That looks similar to Honda/Acura's Vortex Pearl Blue and Lexus' Exceed Blue Metallic. To me, nothing's bolder than American muscle car colors, especially Dodge.
why doesn't it have tinted windows!?!?!
heyitsme I know
This is disappointingly small. Like the GLA and CLA, I guess it's meant for a bachelor, a couple, or empty nesters who will rarely cram people in the back. They're more likely to make use of the hatch space with the seats down for a Costco run and maybe a roof or bike rack. I really can't see any family, European or American, picking this car.
wait I thought the qx30 was supposed to be a hatchback?
That's the q30
+Mujtaba Hadi to the rest of the world they call it the q30, but in America their calling it the qx30 so us Americans think it's a small crossover, soooo Ima call it a hatchback
looks like cx9 to me
Interesting. My wife is 4 ft 10 inches and liked the car. She couldn’t raise the seat high enough to see comfortably over the dash. So this car is too small for large drivers, and has a seat too low for small drivers.
It is available in other colours/colors. Drivers are available in other sizes. What sort of a review is this anyway? Why don't you review how it fits in your garage and how it is on your drive to work as well?
Roman, ITS YOUR FAULT YOUR SO GOD DAMN TALL NOT INFINITI'S!!!!!!
You’re right Japanese design for small people :))
Infiniti going to star having reliable issue due to the German engineering watch
A lot of this video was wasted on music segments that could have been used to give us more info on the vehicle... Very disappointing.
This car is a bit of a mess. Engineered by Germans, good. Designed by Japanese, uhh OK. Built by Englishmen, are you mad?
Should be built by the Japanese and designed by the English. If there is any country that exudes a history of poor craftsmanship compared to other nations, it's England.
I also get that Japanese and English are shorter than Americans, but most central European, African, and American(The whole of the Americas) are about the same height. The younger generation of Americans is even taller. If you were gonna sell a crossover, I think it would make sense that it would be bigger than a compact sedan.
did infinit contribute anything to this car? every interior part is a mercedes piece
I enjoy your videos, EXCEPT, when you do a split-second interior show not even showing the seats and upholstery. In this video you did it TWICE. Not very interesting for a customer like me who thinks the interior is about half of the fun of a car. Then you keep mentioning Mercedes over and over. Spend that time with a very good shot of the entire interior.
Roman thinks Europeans are small....
+hondatrix not Europeans but their families are smaller.
How tall is he?
Thin, not short
6'2
Oh, that's only a little bit taler than me. Was the seat set on the lowest point?
It looks blue
leans more toward violet than purple I would say.
Looks almost exactly like the mazda cx3
Amir Mai Really??
i dont know why but the front of this car kind of looks like mazda.
Everything about the car is good besides it being a merc and having a weaker engine than infinitis are know for
Soundproof is horrible on this car... I had it for two days as a loaner car...
a mercedes engine ..... goodbye japanese reliability and cheap cost of maintenance
Buy your parts through your Nissan dealer
The tightness of the interior is an issue...
Yes and that's why the ex35 didn't start selling well until they lengthened the wheelbase (qx50)
Yeah but even though the FX35 was very innovative and practically ahead of its time, the steering feel on it was really numb for some reason... I think it was one of the first cars to adopt electric steering and they didn't know how to restore some steering feel artificially like they do today. Hydraulic power steering still feels best but current electric steering setup are not as bad as when they first started.
How do you tag people? They changed how the comment section works and it sucks now. I can't frickin figure it out! Do I have to type out (+[username])?
Btw, I never said the steering was bad. I just said it felt numb (like there is no feedback from the road).
+agenthelios1 well I agree with you about the fx37 (he doesn't know what he's talking about), I don't agree about the style of this car! it blends in with a ford Taurus? lol, no... wayyyy more style than a taurus. remember this car starts at 30k in 2016 dollars compared 2 how much would a q45 cost today???.don't give me that bs aboit how old the car is because the accord in 95 and an old camry had wayyyy better interior materials in the 90's Than the cheap stuff they have now.
Everything from the door handle to the start up chime is copied and pasted from Mercedes
The X1 is way nicer
I really like this design. But what I've seen and read about the engine is just too weak.
But with 208hp & 258 torque it's like a gti
? but thats good. Have to see what it weighs in at.
0-60 in the 6 second range is 2 weak? wouldn't call it weak just not 2 fast but wouldn't call it slow or weak.
geekphreak It's not weak... It's more fuel efficient though
Ha ha! Dutch and Scandinavians are tallest males and females in the World. They are maybe not as wide and more nimble than Americans! ;)
